Every year in the Spring, the Rotary Clubs in the US and Canada that serve the areas surrounding the Great Lakes, from Superior to Ontario, try to clean up the watershed. Besides doing a group Cleanup of a portion of the Seaway Trail that has ditches draining directly into the Niagara River that would, as soon as the underbrush and poison ivy regrows, become inaccessible, members of the Club also "plawk" (a Scandinavian term for picking up trash while walking) all along the Niagara River and Lake Ontario shores year round
So far this year the 88-year-old, proudly Bi-National Rotary Club of Lewiston, NY & Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON has collected numerous bags of returnable bottles (the deposits of which were used to support wildlife rescue) as well as trash of all sorts, some of which cannot be politely described.
Lewiston/NOTL Rotary doesn't mind doing the dirty work that helps make the communities on both sides of the Niagara River a great place to live.
